After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Cao Siwen suppressed his excitement, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Tomorrow we can divide a few people to repair the walls of the old well. As for cleaning up the sediment at the bottom of the well, we can't start until the new well is ready for use, otherwise the water will become turbid. I can’t eat it for the time being.”

He also explained that after the new well was dug deeper, progress slowed down, and half of their manpower could only wait to replace it, which was a waste of manpower.

Grandpa Qin said: "Okay, as long as it doesn't delay our water use, you can arrange the time to repair the old well by yourself."

After that, he cautiously signed a contract with Cao Siwen to repair the old well, and generously gave a deposit of fifteen taels of silver... If you want to buy green bricks, you can't do it without giving a deposit.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Cao Siwen took the deposit, greeted the well-drilling team, tidied up, and deposited the well-drilling team's belongings with Chai and Zhang's family, and happily returned to the town to stay.

The next day, he arrived before Chen time. After working in the new well, Cao Siwen took six masters from the well drilling team and went to the old well carrying empty baskets.

After tying the rope, I took the tools and went down into the old well.

Cao Siwen and the others were very experienced. When they got out of the well, they saw that the moss on the walls of the well had been wiped away. They were shocked... The Qin family had gone down to the well to investigate!

"You all have to show your true skills and complete the work of repairing the old well. We must not let down the kindness of the Qin family. We have made a lot of money from the Qin family during this trip to dig and repair the well. I also made three pieces of big red cloth, which is considered a big profit!" Cao Siwen said with joy in his loud voice.

After hearing this, the people from the well digging team came to their senses... Although the Qin family did not trust them and went down to investigate the well, but obviously nothing was found. Then they can continue to seal the ground under the pretext of repairing the old well according to the plan. crossing.

"Hey!" the people from the well-drilling team responded, knocking out the loose green bricks and putting them into the hanging empty baskets. After the green bricks were filled, they were transported to the ground.

Grandpa Qin brought Jiang Dalang and others here to watch them work.

Cao Siwen said: "Mr. Qin, these knocked out green bricks can still be used and will not be wasted... The soil on the well wall is loose, so we need to knock off the green bricks and solidify the well wall before we can build the well wall again. "

Grandpa Qin nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Grandpa Qin and the others still had work to do, so they left after a short stay.

But Old Man Hu wandered over, squatting by the well like a supervisor, watching them work.

The people from the well digging team wanted to kill him.

Cao Siwen glanced at them, and the well-drilling team members immediately stopped their anger and were polite to Old Man Hu... You idiots, just keep an eye on them if you want. Even if they see something is wrong, they can still clean up the mud at the bottom of the well. Sand serves as an excuse to cover up the past.

But Old Man Hu is a bitch who is too qualified. Whenever the well-drilling team comes to repair the old well, he squats aside and watches, which is really unbearable.

Cao Siwen's cousin couldn't help but ask him: "Mr. Hu, have your soybeans been confiscated?"

During the autumn harvest, everyone in the village is busy harvesting soybeans and planting vegetables, but you are the only one doing nothing!

Old Man Hu said quite confidently: "My son and grandson can do it, but if it doesn't work, I have my nephews and nephews of the same clan to help. I am old and can't do it anymore, so I can only come to help Brother Qin's family and win over Brother Qin." , maybe my grandson can work in the Qin family's workshop and earn twenty taels of silver a month!"

This old dog talks a lot of nonsense.

After failing to convince him, Cao Siwen's cousin stopped talking and just followed the plan and worked silently.

……

Within a few days, in late September, the villagers had finished harvesting soybeans. Unfortunately, except for Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao, Chai, and Zhang, the other families’ soybean yields were not high.

The worst thing is Huang Laoer's family.

The Huang Lao'er family has always been the target of sacrifices by the Huang Lao's family. During the land grab, in order to win over the Huang family, the Huang Wu family gave the most barren wasteland to the Huang Lao'er family.

Huang Laoer's family of three worked hard in the wasteland for several months, and finally the yield per mu was: "More than a hundred pounds, many pods are empty, but there are still five acres of land to pay the grain tax..." "

When it comes to grain taxes, the Huang family is worried: "It is difficult to cultivate wasteland, and we settled in late. In order to catch up with the weather for sowing seeds, more than a dozen of our Huang family members only cultivated three or four acres of land, and none of us cultivated five acres." Mu, how do I pay this grain tax?"

The Wei Dynasty was plagued by disasters and wars were still going on in the south, so the court was short of food. Although the victims were resettled, the food tax was not exempted.

At the end of this year, the victims who have settled down will have to pay grain taxes on five acres of land... No matter how many acres you open, you will have to pay grain taxes on at least five acres of land.

"We have to hand in food, keep the food until next year's harvest, and buy cotton-padded jackets, quilts, and firewood for the winter..." The Huang family counted them all, and each one of them was so worried that they were bald.

They had no choice but to discuss: "How about we go to Village Chief Qin and ask his family to borrow some money for the winter?"

This was said by a woman from the Huang family.

As soon as these words came out, the other Huang family members all said as if they were grasping at straws, "Yes, go to the Qin family to borrow money. The Qin family is kind-hearted and will definitely not watch us freeze to death and starve to death!"

When Huang Laoer saw them rushing to the west of the village to borrow money, he became anxious and shouted: "Stop, you are not allowed to go!"

Huang Laoer pointed at them and said: "It's the Qin family's business that the Qin family has money, but we can't come swarming to borrow money, otherwise we will be suspected of being forced by the crowd!"

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't survive this winter? Can we wait for death?" A woman from the Huang family was unhappy. She looked at him sideways and said, "Your wife is a workshop worker. She can earn two taels of silver a month. If she has money, she can go with her." We need to buy cotton-padded jackets for the winter, but we don’t have two taels of wages. If we don’t borrow money, how will we survive this winter?!”

Huang Laoer said angrily: "I am now the new patriarch of the Huang family. I will find a way to solve the problem of the Huang family's winter, but you can't go to the Qin family to borrow money. You all just wait for me. Who can If any family dares to act rashly and go to the Qin family to cry poverty and persecution, I will renounce any family and I will do what I say!"

This?

Huang Laoer suddenly became tough, which actually made some Huang family shrews dare not make any more noise.

Dong Xue's family had just come back. When he saw this, he put down the car curtains and said, "This Huang Laoer has been helped up... let's go to Qin's house."

"Hey." Xue Feng responded and drove to the Qin family's workshop in the west of the village.

When passing by the dilapidated house where the secret recipe powder was made, I heard Huang Yanglong's voice cursing at his mother.

Dong Xue's family laughed when they heard this... Qin and Jiang had the ability to torment Huang Yanglong so much, but they kept Huang Yanglong from falling out with them and coming to do hard work every day.

Just as he was smiling, a figure rushed out, lifted the curtain, and Huang Yanglong's dark and angry face appeared in front of Xue Dong's house, shouting: "You still know how to come back? It's just a matter of building a warehouse. You have been dawdling for so many days. You What a waste!”

Dong Xue's family was furious. This brat didn't care if he didn't call him uncle, but even called him a loser as soon as they met: "If it weren't for Brother Zheng's face, I guarantee that you won't be able to leave Dongming Mansion."

Haha, Huang Yanglong didn't give any face at all, and asked angrily: "Did you win the argument about choosing a place to build a warehouse? Don't say you didn't win the argument, otherwise I will look down on you!"
